Patrick Carberry. Of French creek,
whose pugnacity is indicated in his pub
!ished challenge Of b. X. Wood of this
city to meet him in the fistic arena,
which appeared in the Buffalo Gap
News Of the Bird inst, was arrested by
Sheriff Porter upon such charge, and
brought to this city for trial on Wednes-
day. Realizing the gravity Of the
charge, which very naturally induced
feelings Of contrition, and remorse upon
the part ofthe offender, he waived ex
animation and cheerfuliy accepted the
rigid terms Of the statute, and agreed to
withdraw the challenge, make a public
apology to all parties concerned, and
contribute a sufficient amount Of the
coin of the realm to defray the full
amount of accrued costs.

STOP THE BICK ERING.

The one matter of the greatest i'm
pOrtance to the West, after the revision
of the tariff, that the present congress
will consider. is the question of opening
up the vast Indian reservations to set
Element. But there is possibility that
the very anxiety of the West to see the
matter thoroughly done will defeat it.
There is hardly dissenting voice in
the West regarding the ACCESSIBILITY of
utilizing the reservations, but there is a
good deal of difference of opinion con-
corning the way it should be done.
This is shown in noway as much as in
the opposition which comes from vari-
GUS quarters to each one of the various
bills introduced to accomplish the de-
sired object. 1t is shown in the fact
that there is more than one bill offered
for consideration. With the attention
thus divided, it will be almost impOsSi-
BILE to obtain that careful consideration
of any one measure essential to its en-
actment.
The friends of the movement should
confer among themselves and indOrSe
some one of the various bills now FORM
ulated. Having made their decision,
they should give it united and hearty
support. In no other way can they hope
to accomplish their end. Continual
pickering will only result in rendering
all efforts futile.

NO TARIFF ON MEN.

However anxious the mOnopOlistS
may be to maintain the tariff on the
products which they manufacture, it
will be observed that they have never
advocated a tariff on men to protect
American workmen from the impOrta-
ton of foreigners who may be desired
by the monopolists to take the places of
workmen already here, whom they may
find it difficult to coerce. For instance,
it is reported that 1000 Belgian miners
have been sent for and are coming into
Pennsylvania to break up the strike of
the Lehigh valley coal miners.
If there happened to be prOhibitory
tariff on men. other. than the present in
adequate contract labor law, these Bel
gians would be kept out and the Penn
Sylvania miners would not find their
means of livelihood taken away from
them. 1t is the pleasing practice of the
mOnOpoliStS to assure the wOrkmen that
they favor a high tariff because it is to
the wOrkingman's advantage. Why,
then, don't they favor a prohibitory
tariff on men? Because it is not to the
mOnopOlis, s. advantage.
1t makes all the difference in the
world which foot the shoe pinches. But
the people are fast learning lesson and
will give decided evidence of their thor
Ough acquaintance with it about a year
hence

CLEAN OFF THOSE TRACKS.

The cable line has now gone out of
the hands of the construction company
and into the hands of the Street Rail-
way company. The latter is now re-
sponsible for its operation and for the
time of beginning its operation. 1t has
been authoritatively stated that nothing
now remains to prevent the starting of
the cars but the clearing away of the
snow and ice which eneumbers the
tracks.
There is no obstacle in the way of the
immediate performance of this work.
There are enough men in the city who
would jump at the chance of employ
ment to complete it in day, if neces-
sary. 1t will entail no greater expense
upon the company if 500 men clear the
track in two days than if 100 men were
employed for ten days. The public has
waited long and patiently for the cable
line to be completed.
Now that nothing material remains to
be done, 1t is, naturally enough, begin
ming to get a little impatient. If the
tracks can be cleared and the cars
started by the 1st of January, this i'm
patience will be changed into rejoicing,
and the street railway managers will
come in for good deal of New Years

Scraps OF Sport.

James Tying, Philadelphia's new pitcher,
graduated from Harvard college in 1876 and
from the Harvard law school in 1879. since
which time he has practiced as an attorney,
first in Boston and latterly in New York. His
ball career began as a third baseman on the
Harvard team. but he soon of1iciated as
catcher, and for four years formed the re-
ceiving end of the famous Ernst and Tying
battery. During the summer vacation he
tried his hand at pitching for the famous
Beacon club of Boston, and with such sue
cess that after his removal to New York. in
1881, he offciated almost exclusively in the
box, and soon became celebrated both as
pitcher and general all-round player bat
ter and base-runner for the Staten Island
club.
Base ball managers and players are still
puzzled as to now Helen Dauvray and John
Montgomery Ward carried on their courtship.
Miss DauYray was constant visitor all sum-
mer at the polo grounds when Ward was
playing, and while several of the New York
nine, between the innings would walk up to
where Miss Dauvray was sitting and chat
with her, Ward never joined the little group.
1t was not known among base ball men that
the two were even acquainted.
The Philadelphia and Athletic clubs COM
bined have forty men signed and reserved, or
E lore than enough to make up four mines.
The "Phillies" have twenty-one men and the
Athletics nineteen.

Cincinnati i'll the series next year.

to organize armies and to obey laws
which are the first steps toward higher
civilization. In further support of this
theory the Spectator cites the condition
of the negroes in the United States who,
as it says, Though not equal to any
European community of the same eX-
tent, they are far superior to any
AGO., of pagan negroes who could be
selected in Africa" To an unbiased
mind it occurs that while there is no
apparent divergence in the views eX-
pressed by the Spectator and by Mr..
TAILOR, yet they are both in the
right. Mr.. TAYLoR's proposition that
the negro should preserve his race
identity is correct. breeding will
eXtinguish his race. But the Spectators
opinion that the negro is benefited by
catching hold of some new creed is also
correct. The true solution of the negro
race problem is in bringing the African
under the civiliZing influences of Chris
tianity and then leave him to carve out
his own destiny as he so successfully is
doing in Liberia.

RANDALL COMES DOWN.

Mr.. RANDALL is reported to have had
a holiday talk with the president on the
subject of tariff revision. After the in
terview he is quoted as saying that a
tariff bill will be introduced in the house
which will not affect the individual in
terests nor disturb the business of the
country, and if it fails to become law
the responsibility will rest with the Re-
publican senate. 1t is gratifying to
learn that Mr.. RANDALL'S wing is get
ting into accord with the body of the
Democratic party on this all import
ant question. 1t all comes of
that strong message the president
sent to congress. If Mr.. CLEVELAND had
not handled the subject in such vigOr-
Gus style as to attract the attention of
the whole country and to excite the en-
thusiastic applause from nine-tenths of
the people, it is probable that Mr.. RAN
DALL's contingent would yet be play
ing ''peek-a-bo0" with the tariff. As it
now stands it looks as if the Demo
cratic ranks were to be closed up and
the party will present solid front when
the fight comes.

REGULATING EXPRESS AGE.

The interstate commerce commission
had some doubt as to its power under
the law to regulate express charges, so
it has wisely determined to refer the
question to congress. There is no
reason why express companies should
not be subjected to the same regulations
that are imposed upon railroad COM
panies. One is as much common car
rier as the other. In fact, their business
is so intimately blended that they are
looked upon by the public as members
of the same firm. But it so happened
that in framing the interstate commerce
law congress had the railroads solely
in mind and, while many provisions of
the act apply to the express business
equally with the railroad business, be-
cause of their intimate association, the
commissioners did not believe that the
law was intended to apply to both, and
have accordingly decided to refer the
express company matter to congress.
There is hardly doubt but that in the
amendments that will be made to the
interstate commerce law this session
there will be one formally declaring
that the express companies shall be
brought within the limits of its opera

The Lelands Again Go Down in

st. Paurs polo team again proved too
much for the Lelands, of Minneapolis, at
the Jackson street rink last evening, win
ming three straight games very handily.
Upwards of an hour was consumed in
the three games, and the contests were
very exciting. Although the visitors
were strapping big fellows, they did not
evince the agility of their smaller OPP
ponents, but experienced great difficulty
at times in maintaining their equili-
brium. Then, too, they showed Won
derful facility for getting their skates
loose when the rushes of the st. Pauls
grew too frequent, but with all the
tricks at their command the Flour Citys
were compelled to succumb to the
superior skill of the lads from the
City of the Saints. Before and
after the polo game, Miss Mabel
Davidson and Mr.. Sherwood,
gave an exhibition of their skill in fancy
steps, which excited the admiration and
enthusiasm of the large party of ladies
and gentlemen present. Monday even

THE NEGROES FUTURE.

The London Spectator takes an en-
tirely different view of the future of the
negro race from that lately expressed
by Hon. CHARLES TAYLOR, our minis
ter to Liberia, 1t will be remembered
that the latter held that the only hope
for the negro was IN preserving his race
identity. The London Spectator takes
the position that nothing really i'm
proves the negro except one of two
s-crOss-breeding, and catching
hold of some foreign, but superior
creed 1t refers to the crOSS-breedS of
the Soudan and South America as an
illustration of the beneficial effects of
mingling the blood of other
races with the African. They
produce generals and chiefs
with some tincture of craftsmanship
and have poetry and folk lore of their
own, while those who have embraced

DIES MONIES HAPPY.
Base Ball Circles Rejoicing i'm the
Decision Which Gives Them
HALLIDAY.

Special to the Globe.
DEs MONIES, To-, Dec. 29.-There is
considerable rejoicing in base ball cir
cles in Des Moines to-day over the ac-
ton of the arbitration committee in
awarding Halliday to Des MOines in
stead of St. Louis. The records show
that on the evening of Nov. 10 Halliday
sent a telegram to Goldsby, agent for
Won der Abe, of the st. Louis club, then
at Fort Wayne. Ind, stating that he
was ready to sign. and asking about adj
vance money. The telegram was re-
ceived late at night by Goldsby, who,
after dating it Nov. 20, transmitted it to
Won der Abe, then at Washington, ID. G.
Thelatter supposing the message had
come direct from Halliday, wired back,
''Terms accepted. Will forward adj
vance money" Before the arbitration
committee Won der Abe produced his
telegram.and claimed Halliday belonged
to st. Louis. However, the Des Moines
director contested the claim, and secur-
ing the original telegram sent by Halli-
day from Des Moines to Goldsby,
showed the committee that it was dated
Nov. 10, one day previous to the time
any negotiations for players could be
entered. Upon this showing the conf
lnittee awarded Halliday to Des Moines.
This makes very strong outfield for
Des Moines, AlvOrd and Van Dyke and
the other two.

THE BEGGAR.

The beggar is always with US. he is
more numerous during the holidays than
at other times. The beggar is good
Judge of human nature. He knows that
when the heart is warm with the glad
ness of the Christmas season the gener-
osity of ones nature is expanded. That
is probably why he hobs up with more
frequency at this particular time. The
question with the average individual is
to know how to treat the beggar. Their
is charitable element in every person.
He is less than human who would turn
a hungry man away when his own larder
is full. And yet there is principle
of self protection in the human breast
equally as strong as that of charity. No
one likes to feel that through mistaken
charity he has been swindled out of his
stuff So between the alternating dis
position to do kindness and the fear of
being swindled, the average individual
is at loss to know what to do when the
beggar comes to his door. If it is man
he has tale to tell of inability to get
we'll and of suffering family. If it is
a woman she has her story of widow
hood or desertion and starving children.
If you deny either the request for aims
you have lingering dread that some
poor soul is suffering because of your
lack of attention. If you give them
money or bread or clothing you are ap-
prehensive that you have been imposed
upon. Thus it is the beggar becomes a
perpleXing problem. The only way to
dispose of him or her is to furnish the
suppliant with card to the relief so
ciety or the board of control for an in
yestigation of the facts, and then if the
appeal for aid is discovered to be mer-
itorious one, you will have the chance
to crafty your charitable instincts to
the fullest degree.
